"That could be with Sony. We have a great relationship with them. We love the PlayStation platform. I'm not lying when I tell you it's a really killer technological platform for us to work on.

"The support and marketing, and also their approach to us, to let us make the game we want to make, is really incredible. Our relationship with Sony has been just incredible, all through the Sly series and all through inFamous."

Independent studio Sucker Punch does not own the inFamous intellectual property – an arrangement it described as a "small price to pay" for the "freedom to make the game we want to make".
